~ 0'01'1 4~ 6:1 SECRETARY-TREASURER Report for 1939 " The Board of Directors of the Pathfinder Irrigation District held twenty-four meetings during the year. Six of these were special meetings and four were meetings at which the Board sat as a Board of Equalizat,\.on. , One Director is elected to serve as a member of the Board each ' year and the election was held in the First L~teral District last year, and Mr. Janssen was relected to serve as director of the First Lateral District. The operation and maintenance estimate for the year 1939 was prepared during the month of Janu~ry and presented to the Board for consideration and approval at the February meeting. Because of finan- cial conditions of the Project many items were eliminated from the estimate, and the operation and maintenance charge for the year was then fixed at ~1.30 per acre, and the water users were given the privilege of paying it in two installments. The Pathfinder Irrig~tion District has set aside a fund to be used in case of emergency to pay the.employees liability. The District carries its own insurance, and there was some question by the Insurance Commissioner as to whether or not this fund was large enough so that it was decided to increase the reserve fund created for the ~ayment of em- ployees liability ~ 1500.00. \ The Pathfinder Irrigation District'is intorested in the drain which passes through part of the town of BaYcrd, and citizens of Bay~rd were en- deavoring to have the State Highway Department improve and reconstruct a bridge ctossing the :'illd HOrse Drain, which bridge is locat0d about one hundred feet south of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad track on the highway through Bayard. f The Department of roads and Irrigation of the St~te of Nebraska had signified their willingness to construct tho bridge over the ~ild Hourse Drain provided the proper ~greement could be had with the parties interested in the Drain.
